Got weekend plans? Thank the guy who made them possible 100 years ago today.

On September 25, 1926, Henry Ford made the five-day, 40-hour work week permanent, following the rise of the assembly line, a technology that changed everything about how people worked.

100 years later, Micha Kaufman, CEO of PKPR client Fiverr, says we’re at the same kind of moment again, this time with AI. In a new op-ed published today in The Washington Times, he argues the real question isn’t a shorter work week. It’s whether we’re still measuring work by the clock at all, or finally by what it’s actually worth.

Designing Justice + Designing Spaces’ Mobile Refuge Room gave Reasons to Be Cheerful a story worth telling. It’s a calm, private space for people leaving prison, built with and by formerly incarcerated people.

Most reentry housing assigns your bed, your roommate, your schedule. This room lets you shape your own space instead. You decide who comes in. You close the door.

“Decent housing is foundational to a successful transition home,” said DJDS co-founder Deanna Van Buren. “My job as the architect is to translate your needs and values into physical form. You already know what you want. You already know what you need in an environment.”

Sourdough doesn’t have to be Instagram-perfect to be delicious.

Erik Fabian of Sourhouse shared his expert tips on hydration, folding, and scoring with Mashed for their guide on baking better sourdough.

His advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed? “Even your most mediocre sourdough loaves are going to be way better than most of what is available at the grocery store. So just get started, bake, share your bread, and eat your mistakes.”
